THE REMAINS OF rHE VICTIMS.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION (Vermont), Feb
ruary 7th.-The civil authorities of Hart
ford Vermont, have assumed charge Of the
remains of the victims, and their personal
effects so far as found. 1t is now learned
that Mrs VIM. Dense, of Winooski, Ner-
mont, was lost One of the Board of Select
men, of Hartford, say that in his opinion
the bodies " 46 persons killed have thus
far been taken from the wreck, although
this is not by actual count Isaac Gates,
undertaken. says 81 bodies have been
brought TO his care, seven of which have
been identified and removed, and perhaps
FIVE more are susceptible of Identification.
The.Chief of the Engineering Department of
Dartmouth College, who has made close
examination of the track leading to the
bridge, says the rails were torn up at the
point where the car Pilgrim probably
left the track. These rails all show signs
of defects in material and in construction.
Professor Fletcher thinks the axle on the
car Pilgrim" broke, causing its derail-
ment. and that that was the only car
which left the track until the bridge was
reached.

A Political Rirunet.

New YORK. February 7th.-Little else is
talked of at political headquarters besides
the forthcoming banquet of the Republi-
can Club on Saturday evening next, at Del
monico's. The reason Is ostensibly to
commemorate the anniversary of Lincolns
birthday but in reality it is to afford prom
inent Republican leaders an opportunity to
open up the next Presidential campaign
There is one other object in view, that is,
to bring ibis new Republican Club to the
front. ThesUnion League is dominated too
much by elderly statesmen, like William
NJ. Egarts. The Republican Club is de-
signed to bring younger men to the front,
and give junior statesmen chance. There
is no escape OF the significance of the fact
that James G. Blaine is 10 be star actor
on this occasion, he having written TO the
Committee of Arrangements that he will
certainly be expected to respond 10 the
memory of Abraham lincoln. Not less
significant will be the presence of both the
Shermens, the Senator and General. Be
hind these possible candidates, dark
horse is distinctly visible in the person of
Chauncey NJ. Depew, the only Stumbling
block to whose possible candidacy is the
fact of being President of one of the
wealthiest and most powerful railroad cor
porations in the country. He would be
likely to draw the fire of the Knights of

the shock. IN the southern part of the
city pictures were moved from the walls,

Prison Life in Siberia.

Prison life il Siberia is of many varie
ties, according 10 the Offense of different
individuals and the sentences which have
been decreed in their cases. The lowest
sentence is to simple punishment for three
years. and the highest to hard labor for
life. The simple exile without iInurison-
ment is appointed TO live in certain
town, district or province, and must re-
port TO the police at stated intervals lie
may engage in certain specified occupa-
tons, or rather in any occupation which
is not on a prohibited list; for example, he
may teach music or painting, but he may
not teach languages, as they afford the OPP
pOrtunity for propagating revolutionary
ideas. He may become merchant, farmer,
mechanic, contractor OF anything else of
that sort, and it not infrequently happens
that prison eXiles enjoy a degree of pros
perity in their new homes that they cid
not have in European Russia. EXiles and
their sons have become millionaireS in
Siberia; former Vanderbilt of IrkootSk,
the capital of Eastern Siberia, was the
son of an exile serf, his enormous fortune
having been gained in the overland tea
trade
Many exiles become so attached TO ST.
IBERIA that they remain there after their
term of Punishment is ended. but 1t should
be understood that their cases are the eX
ceptions rather than the rule. The wife
and immature children of an exile may
follow or accompany him at the expense of
the government, but cannot return to
Europe until his term of service has eX-
pired The object of exile is to furnish q
population to this sparsely inhabited re-
gion. and it goes without saying that a
family man is much more likely to be n
good citizen when his wife and children
are with him than when they are thou
sands of miles away. The name Of ''pris-
oner'' or exile is never applied to the
banshed individuals; in the language of
the people they are called ''unfortUnates,
and in official documents they are termed
involuntary emigrants. Thomas W.
Knox

that ignorant jargon will not catch you,
you will be reached through signs. Now,

Frank Pierce's College Fun.

Frank Pierce was rather wild when he
was student at Bowdoin college. One OF
his pranks occurred when Lafayette, who
was everywhere hailed with JOY, was Wis
iting the New England states. The re-
nowned patriot had got rs far east as
Portsmouth, when it became doubtful if
he would proceed further. 1t had, how
ever, been reported that he would pass
through Brunswick, and so it was pro-
posed by Pierce to give Lafayette recep-
ton. Accordingly the students hired car
riages, secured a cannon and went at the
proper time out on the Brunswick road to
meet the general and his staff.
About 9 o'clock in the evening there was
seen coming up the road the procession OF
students all ablaze. By a preconcerted
arrangement it was announced at the mo-
ment through all the town that Lafayette
was near The people rushed out Of their
houses. the ladies waved their handker-
chiefs and cheer rose upon cheer. The
general bowed in acknowledgement, and
finally got down from his carriage and
condescsnded to kiss several of the fair
young ladies. That man was not Gen.
Lafayette, but John Cleveland, a student,
who had personated the character to per
lection The whole affair wound UP with
q supper, good joke, and so the people of
Brunswick never saw tho real hero.-Ben:
